An intriguing meeting between the 1000 year old horse tail bowed er-hu and electric guitar.

"This new trio features groove based improvisations which result in the most attractive yet exploratory guitar playing yet from the leader whose collective CV includes work with Hugh Hopper, John Stevens, Masayoshi Urabe, Shoji Hano and Bill Fay."

Third album by this trio led by UK guitarist Gary Smith, with Lou Ciccotelli (drums; previously associated with Laika, Spleen, God, Ice) and Gary Jeff (bass, electronics, samples). "Latest release is another step on from the last, very listenable improvised rock..."
